Hello friends,

I had a horrible relapse and developed scary symptoms. I have not been able to use computer at all, and I can only use it very briefly at a time. I am not here to discuss my symptoms. However, I just wanted to say that despite the darkest moments we must not give up. Hold on to the possibility that you will recover. Do not talk yourself out of that possibility in your weakest moments. No feeling, no symptom, no diagnosis should talk you out of the possibility of your complete recovery. Finally, do not ask for the permission from science to recover. Science changes all the time. Recover, and have scientists study you. We can do this.

Sorry to hear you have had a relapse. I won't ask questions but want to thank you for your encouraging words. I hope that you bounce back soon.

My story in a nutshell:
Wife, mother of 4 and new teacher. Have had a few childhood knocks, snowboard falls and 2 major MVAs.

Hit top of my head pretty hard on a cabinet door in July, 2014, then our old pantry door broke off its hinge and hit me in the left temple on Sept. 21st, 2014. Maybe my 8th or 9th concussion. Apparently, one knock too many.

Currently dealing with most of the "normal" PCS symptoms. I'm trying to heal and get back to a normal life and my teaching job.

Things are far too bright and noisy everywhere. I yearn for a good night's sleep.

Undergoing cognitive and vestibular therapy. Hopeful for great progress and healing!

Recovery from TBI is seldom an uninterrupted journey of steady improvement. It's often the old "two steps forward, one step back." The important thing is to stay focused on the "two steps."
